The beauty of Ireland and the troubled history that inspired the poet's words permeate the pages of this book, a comprehensive, lavishly illustrated selection of poems about Ireland. Ireland in Poetry reflects the many facets of the country of Ireland~its natural beauty, its poignant history, its indestructible people, and its future. Editor and poet Charles Sullivan, himself of Irish ancestry, has brought together 150 poems that range in date from the time of the Celtic invasion to the present, including both classic poems of old Ireland and haunting lyrics of the new. Nearly 120 works of art~including paintings, drawings, sculpture, and photographs~have been thoughtfully chosen to enhance the poetry. These special pairings of the literary and the visual include such combinations as poetry by W. B. Yeats with paintings by his brother Jack B. Yeats and his father, John Butler Yeats, Padraic Colum's poem about The Book of Kells with an illuminated page from the famous manuscript, a poem by Seamus Heaney with a portrait of him by Edward McGuire, and many poems whose subjects are illustrated in accompanying photographs. The variety of emotions and perspectives conveyed by the art and poetry in this remarkable collection proves very moving, whether the subject be sad or humorous, ancient or contemporary, personal or patriotic, specific or panoramic. But one of the most notable features of Ireland in Poetry is that it embraces not only the Republic of Ireland, where green is worn, but also Northern Ireland, where orange is the color of tradition. We are able to hear the voices of Irish poets on both sides of a psychological barrier that had divided brother from brother for many years. What emerges is a message of confidence in the country of Ireland and hope for a peaceful and prosperous future. The unique pairings of Irish poetry and art will delight the reader as they paint a rich, colorful, and varied portrait of this proud and complex country. Ireland in Poetry captures the special visual and poetic charm of the Irish and their land.…
